Indeed, one is often left hungry for technical documentation The text i am referring to can be seen e.g. here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8379107@N03/6158012546/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; L1: "Active line. LiteSkin"L2: "Puncture Protection"

I do not think the Milano tire has RaceGuard (the nylon breaker). Schwalbe explicitly states that the Durano and Ultremo tubular comes with RaceGuard, but not the "Active line" tires (Milano, Lugano, ..).

Speaking of which, I read (somewhere) that 2013 Ultremo will feature a vectran breaker.

My first tubular was schwalbe milano. The rear starts to wear out less than 800kms & a got a flat which the schwalbe sealant inside has not sealed the flat. I dont like this tubular

My current understanding of this tubular is that it does not sport any anti-puncture protection at all. Which goes a long way explaining why it is that lightweight.Still, IME and with a couple of months of storage in a dry cellar, it's lack of anti-puncture belt is what makes it such a joy to ride to begin with and, let's face it, it's exceptional in this price range.

Bad news is, Schwalbe decided to stop manufacturing it and have it replaced with one that actually does have an anti-puncture belt. I'm stocking up as we speak......

I thought they already had that for years? They sure try hard to beat Conti at their own game, don't they?

Well depends who is going to build the wheels actually. The clincher Nemesis can be found at only one wheelbuilder that i know. So probably it is going to be a tubular. Besides the juice repairing little punctures makes a ride much more stress-free.
